1995 Mitsubishi Mirage S review from North America

"A Beastly Beater"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Minimal wear and tear including tires (which since they are so small, they were really inexpensive.) and breaks, which they too were inexpensive.

The distributer went at 123,000 miles, and that cost $600 to fix. Through out the whole life of the car that was the ONLY major thing that ever went wrong.

It eats oil like crazy and runs out of it frequently; the passenger seat belt is a pain, but I never sit over there anyway.

It has no cup holders and NO DELAYED WIPERS- that is the only thing that drove me crazy about the car.

In any weather below 55 degrees it would not warm up, but that was easily fixed by putting a piece of cardboard infront of the radiator.

General comments?

I loved this car!!! It truly was a warrior. On June 1, 2004 it was in a terrible accident that totaled it, but it handled like a tank. I was going 40mph and a mini school bus cut me off in the pouring rain, he was making a left. My car slammed right into the drivers door of the bus and did pretty good damage to it- it plowed it right out of the lane! (p.s. no kids on board) Anyway, the radiator was on top of the engine and it was still running with the whole front end bashed in. My fiance walked away with only a bruise or 2. Talk about safe!

For all the times the oil has run out it never really complained, even for how much I beat on it. I was always amazed by how it NEVER stalled.

In all of the years that I had it it only broke down once, and that was because of the distributer. One time it did not get an oil change for 2 years and it still ran really great. For a small enging it has great pick up and can handle 80 without too much of a problem for extended time. I will miss that car forever, it was my first. I wish that I still had it, it had dependability and safety like no other.
